[Opinions] Re: Names I've removed from my PNL
Carmen - I like it but almost never think about it. Good for a character in a contemporary setting.
Lark - I like this, I'd use it as a middle name or for a cat.
Holly - Also like this but for a contemporary character (a bit too dated for a baby).
Indira - Love this, very pretty and dramatic. Could be a character in a wider variety of settings since it sounds a bit fantastical.
Guiomar - I never hear this! It sounds cool. I didn't know it was unisex, I thought it sounded all masculine.
Diamond - Too cheesy. I'm not sure why considering I like Emerald, Pearl, Jade, Ruby, Onyx, and even Obsidian as names, but that's how it is for me!
Flannery - Good as a middle name if there's a namesake behind it.
Stormy - Cheesy, but good for a gray cat. Even then I would use Storm nn Stormy, bot just Stormy.
Lake - I like sticking this in as a middle name for longer boys names where nothing else fits and the imagery of a lake seems to fit.
Desdemona - Love this name but it is barely usable since it has one big association (who dies) and not much else.
Kit - I've known one Kit, I think it was short for Katherine. It's cute and a little retro but not really my style.
Grier - Just a random surname, doesn't even sound remotely like a first name
Flavia - I like this. "Fla" isn't my favorite sound but it can be nice in the right combo.
Janet - I've known a lot of nice Janets but I don't care about the name at all. I like Jane and Joan.
Lilith - Has a reputation for being edgy but I like it, it has a nice mix of soft and serious sounds.
